Kitbashing old models to make spaceships
-
@kylebeaudette Very nice!
-
@RHirsch I always liked Star Wars, and loved watching docs about how it was made. Kitbashing was how they made their ships (though they used a lot of wood and added little model parts to that) so I wanted to try it. I made this last year and loved it, have been meaning to get back to doing another one for a while.

@kylebeaudette Looks like loads of fun. Boss stuff. I think Warhammer 40K mechs mixed with WWII tanks would be a good kitbash.
-
@sigross only one way to find out..
-
@kylebeaudette I'm already looking online now. Going to buy a couple of kits.
I used to love making models. Haven't done it for years.

@kylebeaudette Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. It blew my mind - I was four. I still have some action figures around here somewhere, and an X-Wing fighter.

Added a layer of hairspray, then a layer of blue paint. Scratch it with a wet brush, and the paint chips away. Then I added some rusty brown and orange paints. Going to paint up the cockpit, engine, add some decals, and sculpt a pilot
-
These are amazing. Love to see more of these.
-
Repainted and re-weathered, a different look.
-
Made a pilot and have started to paint him. He's not very detailed, and that was on purpose. Now im not sure if the low detail guy works due to the high detail on the ship. Also, This yellow will likely go orange.
-
Those are excellent! I'm a big fan of making reference.

@kylebeaudette brings it to life having the pilot at the helm. Love it.
